Determination of microbial contamination on the outer surface of needleless connectors before and after disinfection.
Intensive & critical care nursing（2023）
Abstract
The majority of needleless connectors had bacterial contamination before disinfection. Needleless connectors should be disinfected for 30 seconds before use, particularly in immunocompromised patients. However, the use of needleless connectors with antiseptic barrier caps may be a more practical and effective solution instead.
